We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Claudia Logi. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Claudia below.

Alright, Claudia thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

All of my work as a choreographer is inherently meaningful to me. However, one work that stands out most is Waves of the Unseen. I choreographed it to premiere at Dixon Place as part of the Dance Bloc NYC Festival, and it became one of the most creatively fulfilling projects I’ve done.

The piece tells a story about resilience and the quiet strength it takes to navigate internal battles. I wanted to explore what it means to continue moving forward even when the path feels unclear or heavy.

To bring that vision to life, I integrated video projection into the performance to create an immersive environment. The projections weren’t just background visuals. They became part of the narrative, symbolising emotional tides, memories, and moments of clarity. This multimedia approach allowed me to blend movement and imagery in a way that made the emotional journey more tangible for the audience.

Choreographing Waves of the Unseen pushed me as an artist. It challenged me to be more creative in my artistic choices and more intentional in how I crafted movement. Performing the piece onstage, with the lighting, sound and video projections was incredibly meaningful. I have since then performed this piece at the Arts on Site for “Beauty is the Home of Hope” Showcase and am looking forward to having the opportunity to perform this piece again in the future.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I am Claudia Logi, a dancer and choreographer currently based in New York City. Originally from Paris, France, I moved to New York to attend The Ailey School, where I graduated with a Certificate in Dance in Spring 2024. My early training in France focused on classical ballet. However, upon relocating to New York City, I expanded my repertoire to include a wide array of movement styles, with a particular emphasis on contemporary dance and codified modern techniques. Currently, I perform as a soloist with American Liberty Ballet, as well as as a company member of Chutzpah Dance and as an apprentice with Reaction Dance Company. Alongside my performance career, I am a choreographer. My choreography is characterised by a collaborative approach. Rooted in contemporary aesthetics, my choreography integrates elements of ballet and modern dance, creating a versatile movement language. I focus on creating collaborative works with artists from various disciplines and am dedicated to showcasing my pieces in unconventional spaces and venues. I have showcased works at Festival des Cultures Jeunes, DanceWave, Mana Contemporary, Arts on Site, Dixon Place and The Ailey School.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

At the heart of my creative journey is a deep desire to share my craft and passion for dance with as many people as possible, in as many ways as I can. I believe in dance as a universal language, one that can reach across boundaries, speak to diverse experiences, and foster connection.

As a performer, I enjoy collaborating with choreographers from different backgrounds and stylistic approaches. Each experience pushes me to grow, and it’s exciting to be part of work that reflects the wide range of what dance can be. For instance with American Liberty Ballet, I currently perform in new works rooted in classical ballet technique. With my work with Chutzpah Dance I perform contemporary dance choreography influenced and merged with tap dancing. As for my work with Reaction Dance Company I perform dance works rooted in street styles and latin dance styles.

As a choreographer, I’m passionate about creating and sharing my own artistic voice, whether on traditional stages or in alternative venues like museums, as well as through immersive and interdisciplinary projects.

Teaching is also a core part of my mission. Working with the next generation of dancers is incredibly fulfilling. I don’t just want to pass on steps, I want to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence. My goal is always to create spaces where people can find their own connection to movement and feel empowered by it.

Ultimately, my mission is to make dance more visible, more accessible, and more impactful, wherever and however I can.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

For me, one of the most rewarding aspects of being an artist is the opportunity to share my passion for dance across a variety of spaces and with diverse audiences. Whether I’m performing in a traditional theater, an unconventional venue, or a community space, there’s something incredibly fulfilling about connecting with people through movement.

I feel grateful to have performed a wide range of works by different choreographers, each with their own unique style and perspective. Every performance is a chance to tell a new story and reach someone in a different way. Equally rewarding is the opportunity to present my own choreography, to bring my creative vision to life and see how it resonates with others.

Teaching is another deeply meaningful part of my journey. Being able to work with students in different studios allows me to not only pass on technique but also to inspire a genuine love for dance. Seeing that spark ignite in someone else is an incredible feeling.

Overall, it’s the act of sharing, whether as a performer, choreographer, or teacher, that brings me the most joy in my creative work.
